Yet you install a module that is a Java Development Kit:

No, I did not when I realized what it was (I not always read the dependency description though I was immediately put of by zulu's size)

Lookie here:

the purge…

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/Porteus_modules# rm -rv /7/tmp/mucommander-0.9.0+zulu-openjdk8-8.0.322-x86_64.xzm /7/tmp/GETMOD/mucommander-0.9.0-noarch-1salix15.0/salix/*

removed directory '/7/tmp/GETMOD/mucommander-0.9.0-noarch-1salix15.0/salix/system'

Added in 9 hours 24 minutes 29 seconds:

Enter package name without version-architecture

Indeed that works. (Most recent version aka 011-slapt-get-0.11.6-x86_64-2gv_2022.10.30.xzm )
When I recall right I did add the arch since otherwise it would also not work, but since I rebooted and the olden terminal output that could confirm my recollection is now lost in its digital bit & bytes recycling rebirth.

It also could be a setup script of one of your programs that creates the link.
You can use rc.local to use at bootup to check if the link exists an if it does, remove it.
I suggest coding rc.local in a more verbose way, e.g. using

Code: Select all

if  [ -L /path/to/link ]; then
	rm -v /path/to/link
else
	echo rc.local: symlink /path/to/link not yet existing.
fi

; My rc.local even tells me when it's loaded so that I know at bootup what is done by it.

[Ed_P]

This related to the problem: slapt-get: slapt-get is an APT like system for Slackware package management. (Post by babam #89197)?

Note: Before running getmod (slapt-get) to download/build the module it is highly recommended to do this step

Code: Select all

cd /var/lib/pkgtools/packages
sudo ln -s gtk3-classic* gtk+3-3.24.33-x86_64-1
sudo ln -s boost-stripped* boost-1.78.0-x86_64-1
sudo ln -s llvm-stripped* llvm-13.0.0-x86_64-1

Added in 7 hours 56 minutes 31 seconds:

rm -v /path/to/link

Seems to have worked.

It might be useful for others also.

If used you need to do a getmod -u before searching for modules.

For the curious ones, this is the diff between the Ed_P version of beny's setup and the setup as found in the module itself:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/Porteus_modules# diff 011-slapt-get-0.11.6-x86_64-2gv_2022.12.29/etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc /tmp/slapt-getrc

> 
> SOURCE=https://slackware.nl/people/alien/sbrepos/15.0/x86_64
> 

the file /tmp/slapt-getrc (represented by the "> " in front of the printed lines, because it's the 2nd file given to diff, aka the right one, aka ">" [the left one would be represented by a "<"]) is the above setup, while 011-slapt-get-0.11.6-x86_64-2gv_2022.12.29/etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc is the original one as in the just extracted module.

[beny]

hi well the slakfinder site is out so if someone want to see the list of the packages of the repository listed in slapt-get and wrapper getmod.
/usr/sbin/slapt-get -l the list is of the packages if you have one or two or more repos so user can choose the package before install it

[Rava]

beny, how would you incorporate that

Seems it is still down but Eric's US mirror seems to be working.

Added in 6 minutes 18 seconds:

Code: Select all

SOURCE=https://taper.alienbase.nl/slackpkgplus/

SOURCE=http://taper.alienbase.nl/slackpkgplus/

it works as shown above and it is not the sole source using http:// instead of https:// either:

Code: Select all
